"Fill in the blanks with what you hear on the video"
The only grammatical qualm I have with this sentence -- which is, perhaps, more idiomatic than strictly "textbook" -- is with the phrasing of the last three words. It is more common for one to hear and see it phrased "in the video" rather than "on the video". Cheers, ~Nick

I think ..."from the video" is better for that is the origin of the sound
on the video means more like something physically in contact with the video. in the video means more like something physically inside (enclosed by) the video. However, both are used idiomatically quite frequently in American English to mean '[heard] from the video' and, as such, neither is wrong. Last edited by Thomson; November 24, 2013 at 04:04 PM.
